Abiotic comes from the greek and means “without life”. There are things in the world that are said to not be living and yet they are in motion, can store information and are crucial building blocks for the bodies of creatures.

Life is embedded in a cosmos of cycles that run their course and are in motion. The circulation of blood in my veins, the circulation of water that runs through all continents and oceans, the cycle of stone as well as of our planet itself are part of a gigantic cycle comprising the planets and the universe.
